Is anyone watching the Ladies Short live now?Â
This gal was born here and she is skating for Slovakia, how does that work Gail? Just curious.
Yes- Yuna Kim- beautiful!!! Here comes Gracie ! No she was just warming up. There are quite a few that compete for other countries. Did you see the speed skater who won gold for Russia but didn't make his own team I think it was so Korea! I don't know what the rules are tho.

Location: In the Hills of Texas | shelltc - 2014-02-19 9:39 AM Yes I'm watching! And I record so I can see everything. I love the Olympics!!i also think NBC is horrible!! As much as I've watched I've only seen one medal ceremony! Are they afraid for us to hear the national anthem?? And the woman who made Bode cry should be fired !! He was being so gracious and she did that deliberately!! I was yelling at the TV "shut up woman"!! Anyway the athletes are great love it all. Go USA and good luck to all athletes from all countries!!
I couldn't agree more. The NBC reporters won't ask Obama anything of importance yet they drilled Bodie. What a crock.
All the athletes are great! Can't imagine working for years for it to come down to one moment to shine.

Location: ND | i think that if you don't actually have winter sports consistent with the olympics in the country you are representing, that you shouldn't be able to qualify for the winter olympics ....maybe stick to the violin instead of trying to ski..... |

Location: Washington | Gail - 2014-02-19 11:09 AM Johnny Weir is doing a good job of commentating.
Still...Johnny hit a nerve with me when he would wear his Russian Team jacket instead of his USA jacket at training sessions and at international competitions. I think he has grown up alot since then but I still have the visual of Johnny in his Russian attire while be funding the United States Figure Skating Associaiton.
I got to see Johnny Weir when he competed here in Spokane at Nationals? ANYWHO he has quite the flair, and I agree Gail he is doing a great job on commentating. He is also making Taylor Fallons outfits at the NFR look boring!!! |

He's doing a good job. Really flaunting it for the Russians too I think !! ;D
Lots of beautiful skating happening. It's going to be very close I hope. I hate when it seems like everybody falls down. Well ive GOT to go outside! But I'll be back for the nighttime coverage! |

Location: 31 lengths farms | I was the one that bad mouthed the sweaters our athletes wore in at Opening Ceremonies... it was when they released the photos of them. In hindsight I should have held off about it, it fact with the entire group together marching in the sweaters were beautiful.

Location: Gonzales texas | Anyone watching skating this morning?? This is what I mentioned yesterday it's awful when everyone falls down. So far every single one has fallen!! All the hours and money gone into it. It's a shame. I'm sure the other groups will pull it off but this is terrible. Maybe I'm going to go muck my stalls and watch DVD later. I thought the same about the sweaters too but I really like them now. The boarders needed just a little more color. Go USA! I'm going to be watching hockey later for sure!! ???? |

Location: 31 lengths farms | Yes, so far the uniforms have been very understated for the actual events, Hard to tell who's who in them. Probably more to do with athlete safety than anything which is truly a sad thing.
They all need a little Johnny Weir update to their look, LOL!!!
With the time difference its been hard to stay up and watch but I've tried my best, those people have worked their whole lives for a moment that lasts no longer than a Hockey Game at best, its the least I can do to stay awake and watch the do it. |

Okay...thanks..I was just too late to the party..
I saw last night that a snowboarding from the US couldn't get funding. He married a russian snowboarder and is now a citizen of Russia. They both competed in the snowboarding parallel race yesterday and she ended up with the bronze for the women and he won the gold for Russia. No amount of money or fame would be worth it to me to live and be a citizen of Russia. Kind of scary.
